Trump Tweets About Marshawn Lynch Sitting For The Anthem; I Can't Believe We're Still Doing This

I’m so, so sick of this, but if I have to deal with it I’m gonna make you deal with it too:...

NBC Airs A Bizarre NFL Promo Featuring Lawrence Taylor

In 2010, former Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor was charged with third-degree rape, patronizing a prostitute, sexual abuse, and endangering a child, after he had sex with a 16-year-old who’d been delivered to him against her will by a pimp, who’d punched her in the face in order to secure her comp...

Nathan Peterman Threw Five Picks On His First 14 Passes

The quarterback controversy of this past week was Bills coach Sean McDermott getting an itchy trigger finger and benching an underwhelming-if-not-terrible Tyrod Taylor. Taylor was demoted in favor of rookie fifth-round draft pick Nathan Peterman, who the team wishes could be its franchise QB of the ...

Skins' Chris Thompson Out For Season After Suffering Gruesome Broken Leg

In the third quarter of today’s Skins-Saints tilt in New Orleans, Washington running back Chris Thompson was engaged blocking on a Kirk Cousins run when Saints defensive lineman Sheldon Rankins rolled into his leg from behind, causing it to bend in ways human legs are not meant to bend:...

Drew Brees Led A Truly Improbable Comeback

Drew Brees and the ascendent New Orleans Saints were having a decidedly “meh” game for most of the day against Washington. They weren’t getting completely destroyed, but with a little over four minutes to go, with Washington up 15, it seemed safe to just call this an off day for New Orleans....

The Vikings Locked Down The Rams

So far this season, only one team had held the Los Angeles Rams to fewer than 20 points—the Seattle Seahawks. Since that blip of a loss in Seattle, though, the Rams had continued to put up points at a rate unmatched by any other NFL team, scoring 27, 33, 51, and 33 points in their past four games....

Mike Wallace Snags A TD With Damarious Randall Glued All Over Him<em></em>

This throw from Joe Flacco looks extremely ill-advised on first glance, with Green Bay’s Damarious Randall giving no space and covering Mike Wallace perfectly as he runs towards the end zone. But somehow, Flacco found a seemingly nonexistent window to fit the ball through, and Randall could do nothi...

UCLA Fires Jim Mora

With one game remaining in what could become the program’s second straight losing season, UCLA has announced that they have fired head coach Jim Mora, who has been with the program since the 2012 season....

Danielle Hunter Sacks A QB And An RT At The Same Time

The Rams’ Rob Havenstein was in perfectly fine position to block Danielle Hunter as he went to take down Jared Goff. But Havenstein’s strength was nowhere near enough. Hunter plowed right through the powerless L.A. right tackle, getting the third-down sack on Jared Goff without having to avoid block...

Giants Find Yet Another Way To Fail

Perhaps tired of seeing Eli Manning’s leadership of the New York offense come up dreadfully short, Giants coach Ben McAdoo called a toss for running back Shane Vereen and hoped he could give the team a lead with a tricky pass play. It went as well as any other McAdoo decision this year, with Vereen ...

Mississippi Football Fans Can't Possibly Love Eli Manning This Much

Kevin Draper of the New York Times has a really cool and fascinating look at the many rules and restrictions and customs that dictate the broadcast map of an NFL football Sunday, exploring how small pockets of viewers in small-market areas wind up being shown this or that out-of-market game on Fox o...

Again, there are many, many delicious morsels to chew on in Don Van Natta’s and Seth Wickersham’s latest smorgasbord of NFL insider delights for ESPN The Magazine. But let’s take the revelation that many owners—most especially Jerry Jones—are increasingly unhappy with the shadow bureaucracy Roger Go...

Here's Video Of A Seemingly Drunk-Off-His-Ass Jerry Jones Making A Bad Joke

Something called The Blast has acquired an old video that shows Cowboys owner Jerry Jones making a groan-worthy joke to a fan who had stopped him at a Dallas hotel and asked the nutty old coot—whose beet-red face and unsteady speech suggest things about his level of inebriation—to wish his new wife ...

According to a report from BuzzFeed News, the NFL is looking into an Uber driver’s claims that Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston grabbed her crotch while in her car in March 2016.

The Case Against Roger Goodell

I know I sound like a broken record when I urge you to go read Don Van Natta Jr.’s and Seth Wickersham’s latest piece of thoroughly reported NFL kremlinology for ESPN, but: Go read it. All of it. There are a dozen different items and themes that warrant highlighting, and a few of them are going to g...

Jerry Jones, NFL Owners Continue Vaguely Flexing Their Muscles At Each Other

We’re now a few weeks into Jerry Jones’s crusade to teach Roger Goodell a lesson about the limits of his power and, at this point in the exercise, that amounts to an aggrieved Jones staring across a bargaining table at a group of NFL owners who are getting progressively more fed up with his shit. Th...
